“The price dynamics in the region was influenced by an expanding supply of fruit and vegetable products, duties imposed by the Russian government on the export of a number of commodities and a high base effect of last year. A gradual recovery in the supply of lumber on the domestic market amid falling world timber prices and a certain normalisation of holiday prices in the popular overseas tourism destination also had an impact,” the text said.
